Summer isn’t over yet, you still have plenty of time to grab a book and do some summer reading.
Here are 5 of my favorite Contemporary Christian Authors For Summer Reading

1. Suzanne Woods Fisher
There is just something about summer time that makes me want a good story about living the plain life, and Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers just that story. A few of my favorite titles about Amish living by Suzann Woods Fisher are the Lancaster County Secrets Series, and any of the books from The Adventures Of Lily Lap Series would be great to read aloud to children 6 to 12 or just read yourself (yes I indulged in children’s books now and again).
2. Susan May Warren
I recently discovered Susan May Warren’s books through Tyndale Rewards, where you can still grab her titles. So far I have read Take a Chance on Me and It Had To Be You both from her Christiansen Family book series. I am looking forward to diving into her Deep Haven series starting with Happily Ever After which I got from Paperbackswap.com .
3. Lisa Wingate
I feel in love with Lisa Wingate’s writing when I read The Prayer Box. She always knows how to bring me to tears and get me thinking. I am currently working through her Tending Roses series.
4. Karen Kingsbury
If you are not familiar with the Baxter family you need to be. Kingsbury’s books about the Baxter family starting with Redemption and ending with Coming Home got me so involved that I wanted to go down to Bloomington Indiana to meet them. Yes the characters feel that real to me, even years after reading them, I find myself thinking ” I wonder what they are doing now”.
5. Becky Wade
A Sunday afternoon on the swing chair on the front porch and one of Becky Wade’s novels go together like chocolate syrup on vanilla ice cream, delightful. Two I have read so far are My Stubborn Heart and Undeniably Yours.

Great list! If you haven’t read any of Lisa T. Bergren’s books, I highly recommend them! She’s one of my favorite Christian authors, and she just published a new book (Three Wishes) in April! Right in time for summer 🙂
